Wow, that really sux! Isn't it okay to take morphine when you're nursing? I had an appendectomy when I was pregnant and they gave me morphine. Hmmm.. maybe that's why my D is such a happy-go-lucky child. It was a good "happy nappy" buzz as I recall. I don't remember caring much about sex when I was on the morphine but as I recall I didn't care much about things like taking a shower either.

Take care and get better. I can emphasize on the surgery having had urgent gall bladder surgery. I've never needed a full pain med prescription, but then I wasn't nursing a baby either
Put the other kiddos to work and tell your spouse the sooner you're healed the sooner he gets some.

JJ, The scrip is for Percocet, which I took after D5 was born. It makes me so sleepy, though, there's really no way I could care for 3 children and take it. H is still home today but....well, he's a dad, you know? He's a really GREAT dad, but he aint a mom, ifyouknowwhati'msayin.
He is alternately yelling at the kids, getting frustrated with their dirt and grime, about ready to spank D2 into oblivion, and gets discombobulated over the baby crying. (H, I say, that's what babies DO)
All in all, he is getting a really good and effective dose of what my reality is like. I think dealing with the corporate world is looking better all the time. LOL
So I go Monday to have the stitches removed. I spoke briefly to the doctor about how I'd feel particularly bad after having sex, and just what did that have to do with my appendix but he was so excited over the appendectomy that he could scarcely talk about anything else. Monday I will broach that topic again. I have this sneaking suspicion that I am not better. I'm sure this is paranoia speaking and FEAR that somehow I will end up back in the hospital, so I will try to get back to my regularly scheduled optimism.
Adios for now, I've been cleared for my first shower. Yee haw!

I say take the Percocet and babygate the kids in a safe room with a bunch of Disney DVDs and a box of twinkies. This also works if you're not really sick but just want to read a book or have a coherent thought etc.

What about asking the doc for something that doesn't make you so "out of it" like Tylenol3. I remember that's what I took after my Csection. It gave me freaky dreams that the baby was floating over my bed, but, what the heck.
So glad to hear from you. I was thinking about you. Best wishes for a speedy recovery. Mel
